The title was deemed too controversial for the Weems Art Fest. But according to the artist, the title was intended to elicit a reaction.

?Last pedophile', it's kind of an invoking name for the piece. No one likes pedophiles,? said the artist, Shane Shane.

?The Last Pedophile? is a 1-inch, 1,100-pound sculpture.

?It's a vertical chalk outline of somebody who's been, a dead person on the ground,? said Shane. Dozens of bullet holes cover the front of the sculpture.

The artist said he was not trying to incite action, he was trying to provoke thought, and he used the title to do it.

?It's not offensive, but more of a point of a fed up nature. A state of society, it's really the gutter of society,? Shane said.

?The Last Pedophile? was once on display at the corner of the Weem?s Art Fest, but it was removed and placed in a state police impound lot. This was a result of the trailer not having a vehicle identification number.

But Shane said he thinks the real problem was not the number, but the title.

?I've had the sculpture for a year with the name on it and I move it around. I've never had an issue with it. It was just fitting for the piece,? said Shane.

Shane has to provide three forms of proof that he owns the trailer before state police will return it to him. He was hoping to have it done either Monday or Tuesday.

The director of the Weems Art Fest told Action 7 News, they ran into some problems with the sculpture. People complained about the title, so they covered it with a tarp because the name was inappropriate.
